The new HPV vaccine Cervarix for women teens – widely used in the UK and close to FDA approval in the US – has as many problems as Gardisil, warns a British drug safety watchdog group.
Dubbed the “promiscuity jab” in Britain, according to a Philadelphia news story, adverse reaction include “nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, convulsions, seizures and hyperventilation.”
Googling for health care costs recently, I came across this April 2009 media release by the Centers for Disease Control:
